A Traditional Wedding Poem
Something old,
Something new,
Something borrowed,
Something blue,
And a silver sixpence in her shoe.
This old custom says that if the bride carries all four good luck tokens mentioned in the poem on her wedding day, she will have a happy marriage:
- "Something old" symbolizes continuity with the bride's family and the past.
- "Something new" means optimism and hope for the bride's new life ahead.
- "Something borrowed" the bride can depend on her friends and family.
- "Something blue" has been connected to weddings for centuries to symbolize love, modesty, purity and fidelity. Before the late 19th century, blue was a popular color for wedding gowns, as evidenced in proverbs like, "Marry in blue, lover be true."
- "A silver sixpence" in the bride's shoe represents wealth and financial security. For optimum fortune, the sixpence should be in the left shoe. There is also a Scottish custom of a groom putting a silver coin under his foot for good luck.
If you would like a free copy of the 'Traditional Wedding Poem' included with your purchase please mention this in the special instrucions box when you make your purchase.

Remember to look in the 'Designers & Makers' shop too, here you can choose 'brooch' if you are purchasing 'Something Blue' to enable the bride to clip it to her bouquet - or - 'pendant' if you want her to be able to tie it to her bouquet then keep it to wear as a necklace.
